    Yes I agree. But with a little work it could be cloned and worthy of the time to save it. Just remember the reflection.

    Yep. Cropping a lot could help. :mad2:

    yes, only cloning it out can save it, cropping cannot.

    I like your choice of b & w. It works well for this shot.

    Other than the branch it's a beautiful image.

    It does make me laugh...it makes a great instructional example.

    Yes the branch is definatly distracting. but the birds look awsome and i love the reflections in the water.

    If it wasn't right up to the bird then it wouldn't be as distracting.

    No - To me it makes it even more interesting. This is because it seems to connect to the bird's neck - very unusual. But I do agree that most people would not want it to be there ...

    I think what I will do is print and mat one up and see what customers think.

    BTW I was just fooling around with a rarely used telephoto when I got this-I'm more about wide angles but I' own a sweet 70-200IS that I really should use more so I took it out for a walk.
